Title: Sewing machine ID.
Post by: Grebo on February 21, 2011, 09:12:23 am
Ok this a very long shot  ;D
But I was walking around our local nick it & bring it (car boot sale) & I almost fell over. :o
There was a Juki industrial sewing machine in a table with motor etc.. It was very tall compared to my pfaff 545 and had like a pillar which the foot & needle sat on. The main body was a bronze colour obviously original.
I didn't dare look to close in case I bought it  :-X.  ::) It had €250 scrawled on it in marker pen.
Any idea's what it could be, I didn't take a piccy as I would probably have had the camera nicked.  
There is a lot of shoe manufacturers about so it could have something to do with that trade.....

This is near to Alicante in Spain....

Twas a Chevy, had four wheels, very tall compared to my Ford F-150.

Ideas?   :-\

Sorry, could not help myself at all.  As you can see I get a lot of these, and I'm just trying to have some fun.

Sounds like that there Juki may have been a post bed.

If you really want to know what it is, what it does, and what it's for, let me have the model number off that Juki!

That machine would have been the cat's meow for topstitching.  I'd just love to have a post bed for those tight corners.  Of course, I want a long-arm too.
